Caitlin's workwear-inspired denim looks mix durability with decorative femininity, drawing on hazard-safe attributes like reflective tape and d-rings as protective elements. Her work comes at a time where women's safety in Melbourne is a major topic of discussion, but retains playfulness with metallic, ravewear-inspired styling.
Enter a world where the prevailing culture is kindness, thanks to RMIT Fashion Honours student Sammi Guss and her fondness for the fusion of comfort and innovative design. With garments that envelope you in what can only be comparable to a warm hug, Sammi's oversized silhouettes and feature knit panels combine in this development shoot for her collection Cultures of Kindness. Shot at Moorabin's Karkarook Park on a beautiful Sunday with some surprise animal companions, the positivity and tenderness depicted in this shoot were truly coloured throughout the magical day.
Thank you to this wonderful team for having me!
Multidisciplinary artist Brook Andrew's The Right To Offend Is Sacred is an exploration of many of his new and majorly significant past sculptural works, responses to issues of racial identity politics in a voice that speaks for the marginalised many. His use of neon lights in particular draws strange and haunting parallels to what one would imagine a Vegas strip to be - the incongruity of this (both literally and figuratively) flashy medium matched with the sombreness of his message is both sharp and sobering; the resulting atmosphere is one that I recommend should be experienced alone. Take your time walking through this exhibition, past the newspaper clippings, old magazines and collages, the portraits and larger-than-life sculptures, and pay close attention to the stories being told before you.
